Union Day of Belarus and Russia, celebrated on April 2nd, commemorates the signing of the Treaty on the Creation of a Union State between the two countries in 1996. The agreement aimed to deepen the integration between Belarus and Russia economically, politically, and socially.
The foundation for Union Day can be traced back to the post-Soviet period. On April 2, 1996, Presidents Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus and Boris Yeltsin of Russia signed the treaty in Moscow. This was a significant step toward closer collaboration following the dissolution of the USSR.
The general public often observes Union Day through participation in organized events or by viewing broadcasts of official ceremonies. While it serves as a reminder of shared history and cooperation between Belarus and Russia, public engagement can vary with political climate and individual sentiment towards this union.
Please note that public observation might be subject to change due to current political events or policy shifts.
